About Lake Arrowhead

Located just a few steps away from the San Bernardino National Forest and less than 90 miles from downtown Los Angeles, Lake Arrowhead, CA is a vacation paradise. It's easy to reach, but the trails to scenic overlooks and beautiful waterfalls make this area feel like an unending stretch of pristine wilderness. Come here for a picture perfect family vacation, a long weekend getaway with friends, or a romantic escape.

You'll find plenty of things to do in the Lake Arrowhead area, and the best way to experience it all is by staying in your own private vacation rental or seasonal cabin. A condo rental can offer the room you need to store your outdoor gear and a private deck where you can watch the sun rise over the mountains. Experience the best fishing, boating, and rock climbing opportunities you'll find anywhere in the state and then head downtown for quaint shopping and craft galleries. At night, retreat to your vacation rental and host dinner for your family and friends.
